LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 133: Is It Not Easy to Want to Be Licked?
"Tasty, right? Let me tell you, Yangcheng's dim sum is absolutely top-notch! And this Dian Du De is the cream of the crop!"
Many trendsetters have checked in here. I rent my place in Huadu District, and I came all the way here today. You're really lucky, otherwise you would probably have to wait an hour in line to eat here."
Gu Heng looked at Li Haibin's triumphant expression and refrained from commenting...
Recently, he had been eating dishes prepared by master chefs of Cantonese Cuisine, which were far superior in taste compared to this Dian Du De...
A very simple, practical problem...
The so-called 'ceiling,' regardless of what it is, isn't something ordinary people can enjoy...
It's also because his taste had become too sophisticated...
So for Gu Heng, tasting these delicacies that ordinary people had to queue up for felt just so-so...
But Gu Heng didn't jump out to belittle the dim sum from Dian Du De and boast about how much better his previous meals were. Instead, he just smiled and nodded along with Li Haibin... Enjoy exclusive content from empire
Although Gu Heng loved to show off, he had some brains.
Only someone brainless would try to raise their own status by putting down others, not to mention that he was dealing with his childhood buddy.
After finishing the last chicken feet and letting out a satisfied burp, he nonchalantly threw the chicken bones under his feet and glanced at him, "How much did it cost?"
"Over 600..."
The moment he thought of the price, Li Haibin's delighted expression vanished, replaced by a look of pain...
He had been working in a factory for years, and now his monthly salary was just seven to eight thousand yuan. A breakfast that ate up two or three days of his wages...
Gu Heng knew that for Li Haibin's financial capacity, spending over 600 yuan on a breakfast would naturally hurt. 600 yuan might not look much, but it depended on how it was earned.
Some people earn 600 yuan by sitting in an air-conditioned office in a day, while others have to endure the scorching sun on a construction site and nearly get sunburned to earn the same amount.
It's all 600 yuan...
But the importance of this 600 yuan in the eyes of the concerned person varied greatly...
Although Li Haibin wasn't as hard-pressed as carrying bricks on a construction site, screwing bolts in a factory wasn't much better; it's normal to spend generously when coming home for the New Year, but normally 600 yuan was indeed a significant amount...
Having risen from humble beginnings himself, Gu Heng understood Li Haibin very well and rolled his eyes, "Alright, put away your airs. It's on me, I'll cover it later!"
Li Haibin wasn't pretentious. Although he hadn't planned to let Gu Heng actually pay, he still chuckled gratefully, "Thanks adoptive dad, so generous!"
Wang Lulu, who was already standing up, looked at Li Haibin's silly smile and felt disgusted, unable to help but express her disdain, "Li Haibin, can you stop being such a loser? It's just over 600 yuan, is it really worth it?"
"Ah?..."
Hearing Wang Lulu's words, although Li Haibin felt somewhat embarrassed, he still smirked at her without arguing...
Watching his demeanor, Gu Heng couldn't help but frown...
This woman might as well have "disdain, disgust, contempt" written all over her face. Is Li Haibin really that naive or just pretending to be, to keep simping like this?
Did Wang Lulu take a bullet for him?
You gotta at least blink if you're held captive...
"Alright, let's head out once we're done eating. I've also booked a photographer in Happy Valley to take photos of me and my girlfriends, 300 yuan per hour, what if we're late?"
Hearing Wang Lulu talk about 300 yuan per hour, Li Haibin's heart clenched, clearly understanding that she mentioned the price hoping he would pay. 300 yuan per hour, and with Wang Lulu plus her friends, four people in total, an hour definitely wouldn't be enough...
Even if it's one person per hour, that would be 1200...
They haven't even reached Shenzhen yet, and already nearly 2000 yuan had been spent. He began to doubt whether his 30,000 yuan would last three days...
But soon, Li Haibin started using his simp tactics to brainwash himself, telling himself that the money spent now was like bullets shot towards Wang Lulu's heart, and one day she would be completely moved by him... Spending a bit of money for love was nothing...
Having thought this, he instantly felt better and regained his dumb smile, "Alright, let's head out."
After speaking, he turned to Gu Heng and asked, "Hengzi, did you drive here?"
Gu Heng nodded in response.
"We now have seven people and three cars, why don't we just take two? How about you, Xiaohua, don't drive your car? You can save some on fuel and toll fees, and riding in Hengzi's Bentley beats driving your Civic, right?"
Song Hua had no objections, relieved to avoid driving, and was about to agree when he heard Gu Heng say, "Let's drive three cars instead. Mine is a two-seater, and five people in one car would be too crowded."
Hearing Gu Heng's words, Li Haibin immediately widened his eyes and looked at Gu Heng, "What? You changed cars? A two-seater, don't tell me you got a sports car!"
"Didn't change."
"Then how did it suddenly become a two-seater?"
Shrugging, Gu Heng said casually, "I'll probably be in Yangcheng for a while, and it's inconvenient without a vehicle, so I bought another one."
"???"
A black question mark directly rose above Li Haibin's head.
What the hell was that reason? Staying for a while without a car is inconvenient so just buy one?
Not only Li Haibin, but Song Hua, Wang Lulu also looked towards Gu Heng...
Li Haibin stared at Gu Heng with an interrogative look, "What car did you buy?"
Gu Heng simply tossed the car keys on the table, saying nothing more.
Li Haibin picked up the car keys, glanced at the big B on the key, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head, but he couldn't utter a word, just staring deeply at Gu Heng's face, he took a deep breath, "Tell me, this is fake, right? Did you buy a lighter to tease me and Xiaohua?"
